the intakes have no performace gains on the 12v the banks twin ram is realy the ony one that does anything buy equaling the flow of air to all cylanders people just put them on the 12v because the look cool

ya dont wast your money on that, i just bought a afe filter and tore the stock box out and put the filter in with a 4" piece of pipe, just makes the turbo louder really and maybe spool a tad better or maybe thats just because i deleted my plugged cat at the same time , which ever it was it sound better

the pvc is inside the filter and the hose.. u cant see it, it just gives the filter and hose something to clamp to so theyre connected

not 100% true they do help with air flow and if you get a true CAI it will make intake air temps go down. they do make a performance (1-5 HP) and MPG (0 -.5) gain but it is so little that is is not given credit i would go with some kind of kit imo
